"Accompanied by a static-infused music video that begins by simply the icy blonde singer-songwriter as a floating head, the trippy and foreboding vibes of 'Palm Slave,' is given an extra of punch of eeriness."
- EARMILK
"Reminiscent of the sounds of David Bowie, Art D’Ecco submerges his listeners into an enigmatic soundscape, offering the perfect track to kick-start a night of mystery and debauchery."
- Wonderland "Matching precocious art-rock elements to that preening Marc Bolan stomp, it's reminiscent of New York Dolls in its androgynous swagger."
- Clash Magazine
"d’Ecco’s sophomore full-length plays out like the pictures between the static of idle channel surfing. Each track on In Standard Definition plays like an episode into celebrity culture."
- Consequence of Sound
"Delivered via a driving rhythm section, new wave synths, and an unforgettable hook [...] the glam rock influences are on full display, most especially with Art’Ecco’s shimmering falsetto and fuzzy guitar tone [...] That marriage of old and new is at the heart of Art d’Ecco and works to brilliant effect on 'Good Looks.'"
- Under the Radar
"d’Ecco’s familiar sound lands somewhere between the accessible glam of early Killers records and the icy coldwave of Drab Majesty on the cover"
- FLOOD
"Packed with punchy, super-catchy songs"
- Brooklyn Vegan
"Throughout, d’Ecco salvages sounds from another era, laced in mod ’60s, ’70s glam, and a grainier world pre-MTV, from opening “Desires,” which explores the shifting tides of stardom and being yesterday’s news, through the enigmatic “TV God,” which finds d’Ecco swaggering through the more cretinous scope of show biz."
- American Songwriter
"Art d’Ecco’s latest album reminds me why I love music"
- NARC (5 stars)
"It’s a beautiful mashup of the weird and exotic styles of the 1980s mixed with the best and most promising indie/alternative sounds of today."
- Beats Per Minute
"Art d'Ecco may just be the alien star we all need"
- Wire
"Art d’Ecco is a band with a Swarovski heart pumping sequins and Red Bull round their systems."
- Joyzine
"Dips into the glam rock cauldron to produce a compellingly vivid montage of erotic joie de vivre and postmodern ennui. Frothing fountains of bejewelled synth and kick drum embellish the glamorous ballads and provocatively hammy anthems, offering escapism from the lumpen brutishness so beloved by the colourless modern day indie rock scene."
- Music OMH (4 1/2 stars)
"... I was blown away by the authenticity of the glam rock sound that forms the core of ‘In Standard Definition’. But it’s really a lot more than just a homage to glam rock, the elements of ‘70s disco, ‘80s synth and more really add to the sound to create something well worth listening to. I asked the question earlier whether the album title would prove to be an understatement, and I can safely say that it is. Hell, this is easily 1080p quality for sure!"
- Uber Rock
"d'Ecco has become marvellously proficient at channelling the spirits of Bowie, Bolan and Jobriath into riff-forward dance-rock numbers and In Standard Definition is irresistible...”
- Uncut (8/10)
"The fog machines, slow fades and d'Ecco's sparkling threads help bolster the song's retro rock flair, which recalls the best and boldest of David Bowie and T. Rex thanks to sultry background vocals and plenty of percussive flourishes."
- Exclaim!
"He has that intangible thing separating the pros from the pretenders."
- The Georgia Straight
"Magnificent Anthem"
- Simon Le Bon, SiriusXM show Whooosh (Head Rush) |

Today, Canadian glam, art-rock singer-songwriter/producer Art d'Ecco shares a music video for his brand new single entitled "Palm Slave." As described by Art, the new track is "a cautionary tale about obsession, and how a misguided search for meaning and purpose, may lead some to very dark places."
Art d'Ecco's most recent album, In Standard Definition, came out last year via Paper Bag Records. He is set to release a brand new LP later this year. |
